The Lakeshore Garden Railway Club will be traveling from Southeast Michigan to attend and set up their impressive operating modular G-gauge layout. The modular layout features a double track mainline along with a central staging yard which allows the club to build and swap out trains without interrupting the action. The club is very dedicated to sharing their passion for G gauge trains as you can find them setting up at multiple other places throughout the year usually. To find out more about this club you may visit their Facebook page 
The Susquehanna Valley Garden Railway Society will be traveling from the central Pennsylvania area to attend. They will be constructing a fully landscaped and operational G-gauge train display. We’re sure everyone will be drawn in as the club has constructed multiple landscaped displays over the years that are just amazing. This will offer many a mesmerizing glimpse into what they could do in their own yard and hopefully inspire them to build (or upgrade) their own garden railroad.

The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad which is located about an hour away from the Expo is a nonprofit excursion railroad dedicated to preserving and restoring vintage railcars and locomotives for future generations to enjoy. The railroad operates multiple excursions year round that take you through the picturesque Cuyahoga Valley National Park. As part of their outreach program they like to attend local shows and events to promote what they do. To achieve that and aid in making it an interactive experience they set up their operating G-gauge display. The display features an auto reversing point to point track which shows you can still have fun with G gauge trains in a limited space. In addition to that they also will have their interactive experience for children setup. Young visitors will have the unique opportunity to learn how to operate a G-gauge train under the guidance of a CVSR volunteer. This hands-on activity is designed to inspire and educate the next generation of G gauge railroad enthusiasts. Learn more about the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad by visiting their website 
Making Trains Fun brings the magic of model railroading to youth with engaging clinics they put on at train shows and conventions. These clinics are designed for children aged 6 to 16, providing a fun interactive hands-on experience that sparks creativity and learning. They will be offering two different clinics during the expo for twice the fun and learning!
